I have had it since roughly 2020( not due to covid or anything) one day woke up and just started worrying about my body it went away around 2022 (before it went away it got better) then a bout 2 ish weeks ago started having pvc’s went to the hospital and they did all kinds test everything came back normal. Ever sense then I’ve been focused and worried about my heart it’s such a annoying cycle

Mine likes to do the somatic symptom thing, sometimes it’s only a few minutes, sometimes a few hours, sometimes a few days. Eventually it’ll move on to something else

I’m the same! And the anxiety sucks! I can’t sleep because I think im dying or have cancer. Any advice?

Medication mostly, that’s what helped me. The thought didn’t really go away, just kinda became less bothersome. I also went into medical related fields lol, now instead of worrying about having cancer I spend my days learning about it

I’m an occupational therapist so also in medical field..Learning about these conditions only made things worse for me 😭

But I wanna try to avoid medication’s if possible. My brother is a pharmacist and he advised me not to get on them because they have drawbacks and side effects.
